TECHNIQUE: Heng Siok Tian (Singapore)

I like the way

You hang up the face towel

Every night, after washing

Your face, before going to bed.

With gentleness

Hanging up the towel,

Like Life

Soaked with tears

Wrung with bruising failures.

I like to learn

How to face the towel,

Hanging up the tears

(as if to dry)

Hanging up the failures

(to evaporate)

So quietly, quietly.

From your gentle gesture

I know you don't like

To bother others.

(It's technique.)
